Answer: The picture's dimensions will be 10"x15".

Step-by-step explanation:

Length:   4      2     10

Width:     6      3     15


You can tell because 15 isn't divisible by 6, but it is divisible by 3, which goes into 6.


Divide 6 by 2.

6/2=3

To keep the ratio, we must also divide 4 by 2.

4/2=2

Then, multiply 3 by 5 for the width.

3*5=15

You must also multiply 2 by 5 to get the length.

2*5=10

The picture's dimensions will be 10"x15".

Mary has a collection of nickels and quarters for a total of $4.90. If she has 42 coins in total, how many of each kind are ther
damaskus [11]

Answer:

14 quarters and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations where x = number of quarters and y = number of nickels

(1) equation with value of each coin

    0.25(x)+0.05(y) = 4.90

(2) total number of coins

    x + y = 42

Solve system of equations using either substitution or elimination

(elimination multiplying equation 2 by -0.5)

.25(x) + 0.05(y) = 4.90

-0.05(x) - 0.05(y) = 42 * (-0.05)

(3) Resulting equation

.20(x) = 2.8

x = 14

plug x into equation 2

14 + y = 42

y = 28

There are 14 quarters and 28 nickels in Mary's collection.

solve the equations below. make sure you say how many solutions each equation has(MCC.8.EE.7a) A. 5p-9=7p-19 b. 5p-9= 5p-19 C. 5
Sedaia [141]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • A) p = 5, one solution
  • B) no solutions
  • C) infinite solutions
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

A) Add 19-5p to each side of the equation:

... 10 = 2p

... 5 = p . . . . . divide by the coefficient of p

B) Subtract 5p from both sides of the equation:

... -9 = -19 . . . . . there is <em>no value of p</em> that will make this true. (No solution.)

C) Subtract 5p from both sides of the equation:

... -9 = -9 . . . . . this is true for <em>every value of p</em>. (Infinite solutions.)
